Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Page 191

An old, dilapidated bicycle, I don't know which junkyard it was salvaged from.

"Never mind, carrying passengers on a bicycle is illegal. If the traffic police catch me, I'll be fined 20 yuan. Is it at the Greenland Stadium? I'll just walk there."

"Should we use speed magic?"

"Ah."

"Faster than my bicycle?"

She crouched up on the bus, looking like she was about to pedal hard.

I quickly advised, "You can't possibly catch up with me. Ride carefully, or you'll fall apart."

"Haha, don't underestimate me."

She still kicked it out.

I sighed and easily overtook Halley at ten times the speed.

The newly built Greenland Gymnasium is not far from this old town area. It is the largest sports center in Changkong City and the recording location for the Supernova Idol Festival.

Currently, it's under a no-entry policy for unauthorized personnel. I haven't registered yet, so naturally I can't get in.

"Registration area... Oh, found it."

People rarely do this.

Since there's online registration, very few people will come to the event, unless they're wild magical girls like me who need to keep their identities secret.

"Miss Miluno, are you also participating in the talent show?"

The staff at the registration desk actually recognized me, which was quite touching.

"Okay, I'll sign up and give it a try."

I seemed a bit cold, actually because I didn't know what to say.

I always felt a little ashamed to participate in the Idol Festival, not to mention that I would have to sing in front of who knows how many people afterwards...

I'd rather be eliminated in the preliminary rounds.

"Miss Miluno, keep it up!"

Seemingly unsurprised by my nonchalance, the clerk quickly completed my registration process.

So I waited at the entrance for what seemed like an eternity for the halley.

"Oh my? Miluno!"

Turning around, I heard Ji Zhenhao laughing foolishly while holding a megaphone.

I'm not surprised she'd participate, after all, "voice" is her forte... but what kind of idol outfit is this?

"Are you planning to dress like this for the audition?"

"what happened?"

She wasn't wearing her light blue dress battle outfit today. Instead, she wore a banjo (traditional Japanese monastery) draped over her upper body, the long hem of which fluttered behind her even without wind. Her open chest was covered only by a bandage, revealing her firm belly. A red headband was tied in front of her forehead. If she had a perm and her hair styled like Elvis Presley, she would truly look like she had stepped back into the Showa era.

No more.

This biker gang will definitely not pass the preliminary rounds.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Performance

(Sun Yao)

"Eh! Miss Miluno?"

The order of appearance for the auditions has been announced. The stadium was divided into four audition stages at its four corners, accommodating more than one hundred magical girls who came from all over the country.

On the big screen, Miluno's name appeared prominently on the three people behind me; we happened to be on the same stage again.

Are you surprised that the child will come?

"Hmm, it's even more surprising that you would participate."

My mother hugged me from behind. She had also signed up as "Magical Girl Tsukikage" on her own initiative. She wasn't on the same stage as me, and she had already finished performing.

However, he was eliminated right after his performance on stage.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. This audition encourages incorporating magic into the performance, but a magical girl who can turn invisible obviously won't have much presence, which goes against the idol's purpose.

"Mom, I couldn't even get past the preliminary rounds, Yao'er, you have to try harder!"

"...The preliminary selection should be fine."

I was quite confident before I came, but now I'm starting to have doubts.

Although it was an open audition, the contestants' skill level was incredibly high. Even without professional training, the magical girls easily outshone a large number of traditional idols who lacked professional skills. Could I really pass with my mediocre skills?

My phone vibrated.

Today is the audition, you must pass smoothly, I'll be back to film the show with you.

leaf……

He's working very hard as an agent.

I can't afford to collapse in a place like this!

"It's your turn."

My mother patted me on the back and then made a fist and gave me a thumbs-up.

"Ok!"

call--

Take a deep breath, pat your cheeks, and perk yourself up.

There was no audience at the audition; only a few judges were present.

She put on a bubble wrap, jumped up suddenly, and then floated down to the center of the stage like a feather.

I made a grand entrance, and everything went exactly as I had planned.

Put away the wand and put on the microphone.

"Hello, judges! I'm Seruno, a magical girl from Changkong City, and a newly debuted idol!"

The three judges were all big names in the entertainment industry, but there were also acquaintances among them. The one sitting in the middle was the old man who presided over my debut press conference, and he even nodded slightly to me.

"Now it's time for your performance."

The music gradually grew louder.

I chose a soothing melody; I'm quite good at this style of song.

……

"To you who are reading this letter now"

……

"Where are they and what are they doing?"

……

"At fifteen, I had troubles I couldn't tell anyone."

……

"But what if I wrote it as a letter to my future self?"

……

"I suppose I'll be able to say it frankly then."

……

Sunlight shines on the bubbles, reflecting rainbows. In my mind, I construct a stage and audience for my fantasies. I close my eyes and immerse myself in the ocean of melody, letting my body and mind drift with the current...

Sing!

It's just a preliminary selection; I'm sure I'll pass.

No, it has to be approved!

……

"To you who wish to read this letter"

……

"To be able to attain happiness"

…………

The melody fades away.

The song ended.

My mood was much calmer than when I went on stage.
